Political Propaganda Posters

from

The Soviet Union

purchased by Gareth Jones in Autumn 1931

 

This page has thumbnail pictures of Gareth Jones' collection of rare Soviet political propaganda posters, purchased  on his 1931 visit  to the Soviet Union with Jack Heinz II of Pittsburgh, USA. [These posters were discovered in 1990 by Nigel  Linsan Colley rolled up in Gareth's in his old attic bedroom under his bed (then belonging to Gareth's 94 year old elder sister Miss Gwyneth Vaughan Jones) in Barry, South Wales, approximately 55 years after his murder by bandits in Manchukuo.] These posters have now been donated to the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, where they can be freely viewed.
